Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? Yes/No đź’•


Hey Reader,

Do you celebrate Valentine's Day?

My husband Steve and I don't get super excited about celebrating Valentine's Day. Most often, we kind of forget about it. I think this stems from years of waiting tables together in a restaurant. We met there. đź’•

That said, I know it's a fun holiday for others. Like my mom who already sent gifts to my son. She shows love through her love language, which is gifts. So, we channel her gift-giving into consumables whenever possible.

If you're working hard to own less, declutter, and save money, then Valentine's Day probably feels like just another reason to spend money and accumulate stuff.

But I think I can help with that.

Here are 5 Minimalist Gift Ideas for a Clutter-Free Valentine’s Day. They're all clutter-free and budget-friendly.

And none of them are "go out to dinner" because that's a terrible idea, and I'm going to let you in on a secret about why it is such a bad idea!​

Which clutter-free gift do you think your Valentine will like?

Happy Clutter-Free Valentine's Day!

Amy

Breathing room. 🎥 Watch the video here → [link] And it reminded me — the same is true for our lives.You don’t need big solutions. You need small tools, used wisely.

Hey Reader, If you're growing your organizing business, here's a simple truth:Your tools tell a story. They show up before you speak. They set the tone for trust, ease, and professionalism. They say she knows what she's doing. So I filmed a video sharing exactly what’s in my professional organizing bag — every tool I used with clients, why I chose them, and how I made them work smarter (not just harder). 🎥 Watch the video here → [link] From label makers to painter’s tape to the one utility...

Hey Reader, No video this week—because, well, life happened. I needed more time for my amazing clients and business bootcampers. (You know who you are. ❤️) And I’m not sure if you heard, but the East Coast got hit with a big snow and ice storm. We finally got some real snow, and I loved it, until it came time to shovel… but honestly, I still loved it. Then came the flight delays, the change in plans… and now I’m writing this from my happy place: Utah. I love the Salt Lake area and Park City....
